These mummies were recovered from Laguna de los Cóndores. They were members of the Chachapoyas culture, which had some of the most unique burial practices in the ancient world. The Chachapoyas were uniquely different than the Inca and resisted their attempts at conquests until shortly before the Spanish arrived in the 1500s. #history #explore | Incredible History

The Chachapoya mummies were often bundled in a fetal position and wrapped in intricate textiles. Their tombs included offerings like pottery, woven bags, and even sacrificed guinea pigs, meant to accompany them into the afterlife. | Ancient Star
